GENERAL
The Women’s Centre Cornwall is a charity with over 30 years’ experience supporting women and girls living with the impact of domestic and sexual abuse. Growing from its early roots as a Rape Crisis Centre, it is now an innovative, award-winning feminist organisation providing a wide range of services for women and girls in our communities.
Our work with survivors of sexual and domestic violence is our core specialism, underpinned by our belief that there can be no real gender equality without a complete cessation of violence against women. Alongside this, we provide a range of community-based services across Cornwall and support women with experience of the criminal justice system across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and HMP Eastwood Park.
As Lead Partner for key services including the Oak Sexual Violence Service, Cornwall Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA) service and Devon and Cornwall Independent Sexual Violence Advisor (ISVA) service, we work with a number of trusted partners to ensure that people of all genders, ages and backgrounds can access appropriate, high-quality support.
Our work is rooted in feminist principles, with a strong focus on empowerment, equity, inclusion and belonging.
